  • Comedian Sandy Honig recorded a video of herself vomiting around an Anthem Insurance office park.
  • The video was intended to raise awareness of the denial and appeals process in the insurance industry.
  • Honig, who suffers from gastroparesis, was denied coverage for a procedure that could alleviate her symptoms.

In a now viral video, comedian Sandy Honig recorded herself uncontrollably vomiting around an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield office park after the insurance company denied coverage for a procedure that would help alleviate her stomach-churning symptoms. 

Honig, who suffers from partial paralysis of her stomach due to a condition called gastroparesis, cannot normally digest food and has been near-constantly nausated for the past three years since the onset of her symptoms. Almost anything she eats, she throws up. 

"It's hard to get up in the morning when the first thing you have to do is drink a cup of water, and that makes you sick," Honig told Vice News. 

A common treatment for the condition are Botox injections, which help patients more easily digest food by relaxing the part of the stomach connected to the small intestine. The $ 3,000 treatment provides relief for several months at a time.

After being denied coverage for the injections in January — Honig told NBC News Anthem determined they were "medically unnecessary" — Honig, who is a writer for Three Busy Debras on Adult Swim and HBO Max, found herself angry enough to act against the health insurance giant in the nearly 3-minute video. 

"I mean, this video was just made from complete rage," she told Teen Vogue.

The clip shows Honig at an office park where she repeatedly vomits while discussing her plight and the insurance appeals process with passers-by. She attempted to show up directly to the Anthem offices, but was denied entry without an employee badge: "Even if I'm a member of the Anthem family?" Honig asks an employee in the video.

On camera in front of the Anthem office, Honig vomits into an envelope she joked contained her appeals letter to the insurance company — "relevant documentation," she called it — and seals it up. She told Vice News she did not actually send the envelope and her doctor mailed her real appeal letter. 

In addition to denying her procedure, the company allegedly also called the police on Honig following the stunt. 

"It was such a lovely surprise to get a visit from two men armed with guns and batons in my own home," Honig says in the video, showing two Los Angeles Police Department officers who arrived at her home to perform a wellness check on her. 

Honig told Teen Vogue she originally thought the officers were there to ticket her for trespassing, but actually were called to perform the check to ensure she was not a danger to herself or others.

"It was very interesting," Honig told Teen Vogue. "I was playing with putting this in the video, but it's actually way too complicated — I don't have a concise way of explaining it, but what the cop was telling me was that if I were to harm myself, [the insurance company] could be liable because they had evidence that I was, you know, acting erratically. They were basically covering their own ass by calling the cops on me. It was just insane."

Representatives for Anthem did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, but told NBC News the insurance company denied the Botox injections to "ensure Ms. Honig gets the right treatment for her particular condition."

"Our clinical team has carefully reviewed her case and our medical policies, and the existing medical evidence does not support the treatment she is requesting for her condition," Anthem told NBC News. "Therefore, it is not a covered benefit under the family's health plan."

"Health insurance is fucking made-up," Honig told Vice News.

A representative for Honig did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

  • More than 80% of consumers are willing to wear tech that measures health data — and penetration should continue to climb.
  • The maturation of the wearable market will put more wearables in the hands of consumers and US businesses.

The US healthcare industry as it exists today is not sustainable. An aging patient population and rising burden of chronic disease have caused healthcare costs to skyrocket and left providers struggling to keep up with demand for care.

Many add-on travel insurance policies are ‘not fit for purpose’

A recent investigation by Which? Travel has raised questions over whether add-on travel insurance policies are value for money and fit for purpose.

It revealed that holidaymakers who buy add-on travel insurance at the same time as buying flights or holidays online can be paying way above the going rate. In some cases, this can be 18 times too much.

The investigation looked at the most important elements of 30 travel insurance add-ons including cover for cash, delays, medical expenses and baggage.

“Almost half didn’t meet our minimum criteria for comprehensive cover”, the findings unearthed.

Results have shown that Spanish low-cost airline Vueling’s add-on travel insurance provides the worst overall cover. 

Although a week’s travel insurance will cost only £11.27 when booking flights with Vueling, customers who are forced to cancel or cut their trip short for any reason won’t receive a penny in compensation. 

Neither would they be able to claim if any personal possessions or travel money were lost or stolen, or for personal liability claims. 

“In fact, the only thing Vueling’s add-on will cover you for is medical expenses. And with its limit capped at £10,000, this falls woefully short of our recommend minimum of £2m for Europe.

“Break your hip in Spain and the cost of hospital treatment and flights alone could reach £15,000, a situation that would leave Veuling customers with no choice but to cough up at least £5,000 of their own money,” reports Which? Travel. 

A spokesperson for the airline did point out that it offered six separate types of insurance for each specific need – including cancellation, missed flights and baggage – however this would amount to almost £10. 

“That is unnecessarily time-consuming and expensive,” concluded Which? Travel.

Package holiday provider, TUI, didn’t fare well against Which? Travel’s criteria either.

Looking at what was offered after the holiday was booked and paid for, which many Britons purchasing travel insurance do, the findings revealed that TUI customers will pay more above the going rate for add-on insurance. 

When comparing cover for a weeks holiday in Spain, TUI charges £47.15 for a Silver policy versus £12.80 for Premier cover with trusted standalone provider, Holidaysafe.  

Despite forking out a substantial amount of money for a TUI policy, customers don’t get much in return, the findings revealed. 

“TUI’s package received a dismal policy score of 37 per cent. The excess was excessive at £150, and it offered zero cover for cash and only £750 for lost or damaged baggage – half the £1,500 we recommend as a minimum.”

Looking at some of TUI’s over cover options, it found that in some cases add-on travel insurance can tot up to £274, which is 18 times pricier than Holidaysafe. 

TUI’s underwriter, Axa, told Which? Travel that another add-policy is offered to customers when they reach the checkout of their holiday booking, which provides a more comprehensive level of cover.

In addition, Thomas Cook Airlines fell short on cancellation, only providing £500 for cancellations on a basic cover policy. 

Neither KLM nor Ryanair’s Standard insurance offers scheduled airline failure, but this could be bought with Ryanair’s Plus policy for an extra £4. 

In total, five out of ten European policies offered by popular airlines were not fit for purpose, neither were five out of ten holiday companies. 

However, some airlines fared better in Which? Travel’s investigation – with budget airline easyJet coming out on top for airlines. 

The £20.72 European cover, underwritten by Zurich, received a policy score of 73 per cent, providing cover up to £10 million for medical expenses and £3,000 for cancellations. 

Representing the best value as a holiday company was BA Holidays with its Deluxe Package. 

Costing only £21, which received an 89 per cent score from Which? Travel for its £15 million cover for medical expenses, £10,000 for cancellations and £2,000 for baggage and belongings.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Which? Travel editor, Rory Boland, commented: “Add-on policies rarely add any value, however convenient they seem.

“Not only will you often pay through the nose, but you could end up with serious holes in your cover – meaning your quick fix could cause a major headache further down the line. 

“Sometimes the add-ons offered aren’t even the best available from that provider.

“Given that it takes less than five minutes to buy a far better standalone policy, it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.”

Express.co.uk has contacted Vueling, TUI, Thomas Cook, KLM and Ryanair for a comment.

This is a preview of a research report from BI Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium research service. To learn more about BI Intelligence, click here.

In the US, the in-store mobile wallet space is becoming increasingly crowded. Most customers have an option provided by their smartphone vendor, like Apple, Android, or Samsung Pay. But those are often supplemented by a myriad of options from other players, ranging from tech firms like PayPal, to banks and card issuers, to major retailers and restaurants.

With that proliferation of options, one would expect to see a surge in adoption. But that’s not the case — though BI Intelligence projects that US in-store mobile payments volume will quintuple in the next five years, usage is consistently lagging below expectations, with estimates for 2019 falling far below what we expected just two years ago. 

As such, despite promising factors driving gains, including the normalization of NFC technology and improved incentive programs to encourage adoption and engagement, it’s important for wallet providers and groups trying to break into the space to address the problems still holding mobile wallets back. These issues include customer satisfaction with current payment methods, limited repeat purchasing, and consumer confusion stemming from fragmentation. But several wallets, like Apple Pay, Starbucks’ app, and Samsung Pay, are outperforming their peers, and by delving into why, firms can begin to develop best practices and see better results.

A new report from BI Intelligence addresses how in-store mobile payments volume will grow through 2021, why that’s below past expectations, and what successful cases can teach other players in the space. It also issues actionable recommendations that various providers can take to improve their performance and better compete.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

  • US in-store mobile payments will advance steadily at a 40% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to hit $ 128 billion in 2021. That’s suppressed by major headwinds, though — this is the second year running that BI Intelligence has halved its projected growth rate.
  • To power ahead, US wallets should look at pockets of success. Banks, merchants, and tech providers could each benefit from implementing strategies that have worked for early leaders, including eliminating fragmentation, improving the purchase journey, and building repeat purchasing.
  • Building multiple layers of value is key to getting ahead. Adding value to the user experience and making wallets as simple and frictionless as possible are critical to encouraging adoption and keeping consumers engaged. 

In full, the report:

  • Sizes the US in-store mobile payments market and examines growth drivers.
  • Analyzes headwinds that have suppressed adoption.
  • Identifies three strategic changes providers can make to improve their results.
  • Evaluates pockets of success in the market.
  • Provides actionable insights that providers can implement to improve results.

This is a preview of a research report from BI Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium research service. To learn more about BI Intelligence, click here.

The downfall of US brick-and-mortar commerce is overblown — despite sharp gains in e-commerce, which will nearly double between now and 2021, the lion’s share of purchasing continues to take place in-store. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, since the online environment can’t yet compensate for the reasons customers like brick-and-mortar shopping.

That means the point-of-sale (POS) terminal, which merchants use to accept payments of all types and to complete transactions, isn’t going anywhere. But that doesn’t mean it’s not changing. As merchants look to cut costs amidst shifts in consumer shopping habits, POS terminals, which were once predominantly hardware offerings used exclusively for payment acceptance, are evolving into full-service, comprehensive solutions. These new POS terminals are providing an array of business management solutions and connected offerings to complement payment services. 

This is where the smart terminal, a new product that’s part-tablet, part-register, comes in. Merchants are increasingly seeking out these offerings, which afford them the connectivity, mobility, and interoperability to run their entire business. And that’s shaking up the space, since it’s not just legacy firms, but also mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) players and newer upstarts, that offer these products. 

As merchants begin demanding a wide variety of payment solutions, terminal providers are scrambling to meet their needs in order to maintain existing customers and attract new ones. This is leading to rapid innovation and increased competition in both the POS terminal hardware and software spaces.

BI Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium research service, has put together a detailed report on the shifts in this landscape, how leading players can meet them, and who’s doing it most effectively.

Here are some key takeaways from the report:

  • Evolving merchant needs are impacting POS terminal players’ strategies. Merchants select terminal providers based on four key areas: payment functionality, user experience (UX), over-the-top (OTT) offerings, and distribution/customer service. Terminal firms need to innovate in these areas, or risk falling behind.
  • Larger players need to double down on existing success. Smaller players can often be more nimble, which gives them the opportunity to innovate more quickly and build in-demand solutions. That’s a disadvantage to market leaders; however, they can, and should, leverage their massive distribution networks when upgrading or updating their offerings. Meanwhile, smaller players can win by focusing on niches instead.
  • It’s all about the platform. No single feature is likely to make or break a merchant’s decision to pursue a specific provider. Above all, they want a robust ecosystem that can evolve over time. 

In full, the report:

  • Explains the current state of in-store retail and why terminal firms need to evolve to meet it.
  • Groups features that matter to merchants and explains why they’re important and what terminal providers stand to gain from focusing on them.
  • Determines the leading players in the space.
  • Assesses how the leading players stack up, and which offerings are the most comprehensive.
  • Issues recommendations about how to develop an attractive platform that best serves merchants’ needs as the market continues to shift.

This is a preview of a research report from BI Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium research service. To learn more about BI Intelligence, click here.

Media consumption is at a saturation point. After rising for much of the last decade, total digital time spent has been nearly static since the start of 2015. As a result, it’s increasingly difficult for content producers to win over minutes of consumers’ time.

One platform, though, is poised to move the needle and provide a new avenue to boost digital time spent: the connected car. Consumers will spend more time in cars that offer a range of connectivity options, giving them the chance to use the services they know and love in the car.

The key question for service providers is how to take advantage of the connected car by integrating their services into this growing platform.

In a new report from BI Intelligence, we provide a roadmap for service providers looking to offer their services in the car. We analyze media consumption and overall digital time spent trends, and then forecast the growth of the connected car market in relation to the digital time opportunity. Finally, we propose potential routes that service providers can take to get into connected cars and ride-hailing vehicles.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

  • Digital time spent has become nearly static; however, people are spending more time in cars every year, and the growth of connected cars will likely turn these extra minutes into digital time.
  • Getting services into the car is more complicated than ever before, and will require service providers to take different approaches to integration.
  • The introduction of autonomous vehicles and the growth of ride-hailing services in the coming years will completely change what people can do in cars, which will alter the requirements for digital services in these developing platforms.

In full, the report:

  • Analyzes trends in digital time spent and the growth of connected cars.
  • Explains the connected-car ecosystem, where service providers fit in, and what relationships they need to succeed in the space.
  • Provides a detailed explanation of the future of connected cars, which will expand media consumption and offer new e-commerce and payments opportunities.
